Download manual (1 MB)A simmer supply is a device that strikes and maintains low-current discharge in a flashlamp to increase the lamp’s lifetime and operation stability. The SBZ-3008 is up to 1300mA simmer supply, powered from a +24 V DC source.
The SBZ-3008 includes all necessary circuits not only for maintaining of low-current discharge, but also for simmer ignition as well: a built-in gas discharger for high-voltage and high-energy trigger pulse production and an auxiliary 1500 V open-circuit voltage supply. An ignition transformer is not included in the SBZ‑3008 and sold separately.
The SBZ-3008 is a powerful device, has a high-power 1300mA simmer supply modification. It is able to drive a long flashlamp or up to two typical flashlamps connected in series (please read user manual for details how to organize simmer triggering in that case). The module is cooled with an integrated fan. In case of current interruption, the automatic simmer ignition will restrike with approximately 3 Hz repetition rate, until the discharge is restored.
The simmer supply can be used in laser systems either with series or external triggering without any changes.
The simmer current value for the SBZ-3008 is selected when ordering. In normal circumstances, it is not possible for the user to adjust the simmer current themselves.

Many parameters of the simmer supply can be taylored to your needs. Some of them are listed below:
- Simmer current preset (any within simmer current selection range)
- Trigger voltage (selectable in 350-1000 V range, other on request)
- Modified cables and connectors
- Current program analog signal
- Current monitor analog signal
- 48 V DC input
Modifications
SBZ-3008-01
– ~300-800 mA simmer current selection range
– 500 mA simmer current by default (other set point on request)
– 1000 V trigger voltage (other on request)
– ~150-400 mA simmer current selection range
– 200 mA simmer current by default (other set point on request)
– 1000 V trigger voltage (other on request)
High-voltage version:
– ~200-500 mA simmer current selection range
– 400 mA simmer current by default (other set point on request)
– 1000 V trigger voltage (other on request)
Best perfomance in difficult cases, like two flashlamps connected in series
High-power version is capable of achieving both high output voltage and high output current simultaneously:
– ~500-1300 mA simmer current selection range
– 900 mA simmer current by default (other set point on request)
– 1000 V trigger voltage (other on request)
More expensive than other versions
